New Account Information

When you start a new account, there are certain things that you are not able to do until your account reaches a certain age. Here are the things you can and can not do.

Note that your account is only 1 month old when it's been exactly a month since you created your account. For example, if your account was created on Jan 1st at 6:00pm NST, then it's one month old on 12:00am NST Feb 1st. If you only calculate according to your shield status, you might mistake your account as 1 month when your shield turns 1 month at 6:00pm NST Jan 28th when your account is really only 4 weeks old. Between 4 weeks old and 1 month old, you will not have a status on the neoboards, because TNT doesn't have a "4 weeks" status.
